I also want nicely to talk with yall in piece about the situation that happened. I think it is overly oversimplified by some people. It wasn’t like any other simple skinship moment just «just holding hands». This concert hold so much importance. It was the first in over two years when they were at the real concert with fans and at loose and as natural as they can be. LGBT pride flag of equality was waved. Someone came out. The Harry Styles is an icon for LGBT representative. Singing, Tae hugging JK, vibing, JK hugging Tae, holding hands, Tae and JK looking at e/o when LGBT flag was waved, JK cheering loud when someone came out, 90% footage of Tae and kook being together can be normalised but not at the time when somebody you "love" is already next to you and you care not to pay attention to your "lover ". I know real life couples are not glued together. It's impossible to be like that. But being on a concert where LGBT is cherished and respected, where the pride flag is shown is something very important to people from LGBT. It's the moment where you have chance for being the real you without someone's interference. So a person most likely will hold his lovers hand for majority of the time instead of their best friend hand. Off course it was just a single hug. Any friends who are closer would do that. But any couple who could have been spotted would also do the same thing as JK and Tae did it in the concert. Ari along with her fiancee visited the concert as well and they were in the same positions as that of JK and Tae. Vminkook have a strong bond together. There's nothing to deny in that. I would never question that. But here, at the concert, we barely got any interactions of JK with either jhope or Jimin even though JK was standing /sitting beside jim as well and there was a point of time when Tae wasn't with JK. Instead jhope were. But all the clinginess that clips shows were with Tae. Well, I think if JK and jimin could display their "almost kiss " " bite mark " " eating rameyeon" then it's contradicting that why would JK hesitate to be closer to jimin and display their affections at the concert? I know one thing for sure if you thought we were noisy before now when we have such incredible lgbt moment sorry we wont never shut up about it and following taekook steps will be only more supportive.

Anon, I feel like you maybe have a totally different idea of what went on at that concert than I do. For one thing, I've seen the footage that was shot and for the majority of it, Jungkook and Jimin were sharing a drink, all four guys were vibing, there was some discussion between JeiKei and Jimin, a lot of drunken hijinks, some cool dance moves, and of course there was that great "Falling" drunken karaoke moment that really, we should all enjoy and celebrate. It's great to see Tae and Kookie getting back that friendship they were concerned about having lost just over a year ago. I know the narrative that's going around about "oooh JK and Tae had a moment" when Harry was congratulating the fan who came out. But the problem is that when I look at the uncut video, the people talking around that time are mostly Jungkook and Jimin. Not Jungkook and Taehyung. It's Jimin's hand petting his head, it's him leaning into Jimin and Jimin leaning into him, and it kind of looks more like JK is just excited and pleased for the fan and for Harry's acknowledgement of that than anything else. It doesn't really read as a romantic moment with anyone for me. It was a great LGBT moment. For the fan. For the queer people and allies in the audience. Hell, for me. But it wasn't a Taekook moment. It wasn't even in the same neighborhood as a Taekook moment. It's nearly disrespectful to Harry and the queer fan who came out to make it one. Not everything is about our guys, as much as we'd like to think otherwise. And their attention is not always on each other in moments like that. JK was very into that moment, as he should have been, and he was happy for that person who came out, as he should have been. That's really what I saw. A "how cool is this that we are here and this happened" thing. It's not something they get to see in Korea - the Itaewon Trans Day of Remembrance parade was actually going on about that time, interestingly, but they were in LA - not Seoul - and they don't get to go to those parades at home. For anyone who is queer or even an ally of civil rights, it was a very cool moment and one that all four of the guys clearly appreciated. If anything Tae to me kinda looked at his friends like "cool. That person is cool. You, my friends, are also cool." That was it. If hand contact is what you need to prove romance then JeiKei swiping his credit card on Jimin's ass earlier that evening is less of a bro thing to do, frankly. I mean:

I'm actually gonna do a whole post on Taehyungie today because he deserves one. He's been so much fun on this trip and I have thoughts and opinions about him that I feel like mouthing off about. I love him and his bonds with the members, specifically Jimin and Koo. Meanwhile I've deleted over 40 asks from Taekook evangelists in the last 24 hours. Y'all really go into other people's spaces and say some shit, don't you? It's like your mamas never taught you manners. It's like you think you're entitled to get all up in my space and say whatever the hell you want and demand that I listen - and then demand that I change my opinion. Have you considered a career in multi-level marketing or door-to-door preaching? Because you might actually be able to earn a living in one of those fields, once you work on bringing a well-reasoned pitch to the table.
